WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Yodo1 is seeking an experienced, commercially minded Head of Scouting to identify, evaluate and secure outstanding PC and console publishing opportunities.
This pivotal role will shape our publishing portfolio, requiring the industry relationships, market knowledge and commercial judgement to recognze exceptional games and distinguish genuine potential from attractive pitches.
Beyond finding games, the successful candidate will assess their commercial potential, development teams' ability to deliver, and positioning within the competitive landscape.
They will own the scouting pipeline, from identifying opportunities and building developer relationships through to evaluation, internal presentation and negotiation. They will also help establish the processes and standards that will underpin our scouting operation as the business grows.
You are:
Focused on impact. You understand the 80/20 rule and focus on activities that matter.
Performance-driven and growth-oriented. You have an intrinsic will to succeed while unafraid to try, fail, and learn by experimenting with new approaches and testing ideas.
Cooperative. You help others succeed; you give and receive feedback well.
Relentlessly curious. You ask questions.
Humble. You ask for help; you are quick to admit and learn from your mistakes.
SMART. You work and communicate in ways that are Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
WHAT WE EXPECT
You will:
Identify and source exceptional PC and console games through industry networks, events, direct relationships and digital channels. Build a strong pipeline of opportunities, developing relationships with independent developers, studios and industry contacts. Focus initially on Steam and Epic Games Store, identifying distinctive games with genuine commercial potential.
Evaluate creative and commercial potential, assessing gameplay, core loops, depth, replayability, accessibility, audience appeal, differentiation and competitive positioning. Consider potential for streaming, content creation and community engagement, alongside development team capabilities, budgets, schedules, commercial potential and key risks.
Drive evaluation and signing by reviewing pitches, prototypes and playable builds, producing structured assessments and presenting recommendations internally. Coordinate due diligence, lead or support negotiations with prospective publishing partners, and maintain developer relationships throughout the process.
Build the scouting function by establishing processes, evaluation criteria and pipeline management. Monitor market trends and emerging opportunities, report on potential signings, and help recruit and develop the scouting team as the business grows.
You must have:
Significant experience in PC/console publishing, scouting, business development or a related commercial role, with an established independent developer and studio network and a track record of identifying and progressing promising games.
Excellent knowledge of PC and console markets, genres, competitors and player expectations, alongside practical Steam experience, including publishing, launching games and building audiences.
Strong creative and commercial judgement, with the ability to evaluate gameplay, market potential, development capability and financial viability.
The confidence to make independent recommendations, challenge assumptions and communicate a compelling commercial rationale, supported by excellent relationship-building, presentation and cross-functional collaboration skills.
WHAT WE OFFER
Compensation. We pay based on qualifications, experience, and fit for the role. We provide an allowance to purchase your own device or equipment and offer variable compensation through our annual bonus program.
Growth. We offer an environment where you will have the trust and freedom to try, fail, learn fast, and make a real impact while accelerating your career, and where anyone with a great idea can pitch it directly to our management team.
WFA. Work from anywhere in the world, travel when and where you like, get paid in your currency of choice, and enjoy flexible hours and unlimited paid time off.
Community. Work with an energetic, fast-learning, supportive, and diverse team of Yodies across six continents and 30+ countries who share and support new ideas and get things done.
